Hi there peeps,


I’m using uk05 beta 90

I’m having trouble setting up the Nas Drive with the dreambox,

Now Ive set up all the variables correctly.

IMAGEIP 192.168.100.200 - Here you enter the IP address of your own box
IPADDRESS - 192.168.100.201 This is the IP address of your LAN Drive
SHARENAME - Dreambox The name of the shared directory (as set up in the drive webinterface)
PASSWORD - Ive set up passwordThe password for the above shared directory (enter "guest" if anonymous)
MOUNTPOINT - Ive set up as “hdd” Where you want the drive to be visible (use /hdd for MovieBrowser)

Now I’ve correctly installed the plug-in to the dreambox - when I try to record I get the following message

Drive isn’t writeable make sure the you have mounted it correctly?

I’m using the same nas drive that Dizzy had tested -

On the samba setting (web browser) I’ve set up a dir called hdd put in the shared settings and put a password on it which match’s the password set in the plug-in

What am i doing wrong?

I cant even access the network in windows -although I can view via the browser -
I thought perhaps its do with it not being formatted - so Ive done this using the browser - it only takes a few secs to do so - So perhaps this is the problem?


Any one be able to help?

is the nas definatly operating from the same subnet ? have you made an error in any of the first 3 octets of the drives IP adress ? is the subnet mask of both the drive and the dreambox 255.255.255.0 ?
 
after palying around a bit more Ive managed to get it working in win xp - i can see and read and write to it.

the folder is called //dreambox/hdd


Still having problems in dreambox - messages comes up as cant write to drive are you sure it mounted propely?


MOUNTPOINT is set as //dreambox/hdd - is this correct?

you should set the dreambox to record to the /hdd mount point as thats where the lan plugin mounts it to m8, hope this helps

Hi osborne82,

Im not quite sure what you mean by setting the mount point to /hdd?

Do you mean I should change the MOUNTPOINT to /hdd

I've tried this and still its a no go - I have the exact same hard drive as yours

a LANDRIVE 250gb

I guess Im not familiar with mounting on the dreambox,

Could you give a brief guide on how its done mate?
 
hello remember me? :)
copy and paste your config file here so i can see the variables
 
Long time no write - stranger!!


Here's me conf file

attached

Im sure its okay - but pls do correct me

Have you set a folder named dreambox as shared (under samba settings in drive webinterface)?
Your drive ip is 192.168.100.201?
and password is definately correct?

any errors?
 
ive set up a folder called hdd and move to the right hand side in the browse settings with a password.
 
There you go then :)
That folder that you've called HDD, it needs to be called 'dreambox'

SHARENAME=dreambox

Thats the variable that says the name of the folder youre sharing.
Set that variable to hdd or rename the folder on the drive to 'dreambox'
